title: Loss of nitroglycerin from solutions to intravenous plastic containers: a theoretical treatment.
abstract: The physical instability of nitroglycerin solutions in plastic containers has been reported extensively. A systematic study of potency loss in plastic infusion bags were reported recently. This paper presents a theoretical treatment of the data and a proposed model consisting of adsorption onto the surface followed by partitioning into the plastic.
